Re: [rdiff-backup-users] command not found executing rdiff-backup

[Andrew K. Bressen]

I assume Carlos has figured this out by now, been helped, or given up,
but just so search engines will help out anyone else with this problem,
I'm answering to the list. 

The error messages below, in particular "/bin/bash: rdiff-backup: command not 
found" 
indicate that rdiff-backup is not in root's default path on the machine 
powerfull.

Change root's path on the server so it can find rdiff-backup when the
client logs in and tries to run it.
